Sandown Park Race 1 - Happy Birthday Jackie Booth
GOING NUCLEAR (4) is a talented dog yet to miss the placings, including wins at his last two on end, the latest at this track (29.32). Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. KIWI BIRCHIP (7) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a neck second (29.44) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. BIOLLANTE (3) was impressive last start despite finishing second, recording a dominant 29.41 to place behind GOING NUCLEAR and clocking a new PB this course and distance. Has the ability and looks a key chance. SAFFRON MONSOON (1) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Was edged out last time at Warragul when beaten just a neck but did clock a fast 25.94 over the 460m trip. Expecting another bold showing.
